LANSING — Police here say they didn't have to deal with anything severe during Thursday's Fourth of July fireworks in Lansing, and they attribute that to the good behavior of the public.

Lansing Police Capt. Daryl Green said officers made three arrests and issued 28 citations while people gathered at Adado Riverfront Park for the festivities. Of those arrests, one was for minor in possession of alcohol, another for marijuana possession and a third was a felonious assault.

Citations issued were largely minors in possession of alcohol, curfew violations, fireworks violations and two open alcohol violations.

"The fireworks display at Riverfront Park was well-attended and the crowd was well-behaved, with very low numbers of arrests and citations," Green said.

The felonious assault arrest occurred about 8 p.m. when officers were patrolling the 500 block of E. Saginaw Street. They saw a female driver attempting to strike a man with her vehicle, Green said.

Police noted the woman, a 50-year-old from Lansing, never hit the man, a 50-year-old from Holt, with the vehicle.

Green said Lansing police responded to more than 50 fireworks complaints after 12 a.m. Friday, the time at which the city enforces its noise ordinance against fireworks until 8 a.m. Lansing police issued 28 noise violation citations over the past three nights.

Lansing police implemented security checkpoints at entrances to Adado Riverfront Park for the fireworks show in an effort to keep consumer fireworks out of the area. Green said 75 patrons attempted to bring such into the park, and most of them simply returned the fireworks to their vehicle then joined the event.

"Most persons that approached the checkpoints were understanding of the signage that no fireworks were allowed inside and this was not an issue," Green said. "The attendees were overall very cooperative throughout the event."
